Two papers are wonderful in relation to the biological staining. The fisrt
"A contribution to the theory of biological staining based on the principles of
structural organization of biological macromolecules " Biotechnic and
Histochemistry, 2001, 76(3): 137-161. This explain the posible form of binding
to collagen in trichormes and other staining formulas. Is a complex paper but is
superb.

The second "Van Gieson´s picrofuchsin. The staining mechanisms for
collaegen and cytoplasm, and examination of the dye diffusion rate model of
differential staining". Histochemistry (1993). 99: 163-174 is related of the
staining mechansims of van Gieson´s stain technique.

Both papers were made by Poul Prento, I contact him several times for some
dudes related with staining methos and he always answer me in a perfect
form. Do it, write to him

Ok guys i am sorry i was not
clear initially on my request.Here is what I need,I am looking for a
research paper type in which compares the different types of staining
procedures and there uses.The two stains of interests are the Trichrome and
the Alcian Blue.The paper must include the history of how the stain was
introduced and the mechanism by which it works and lastly, for what purposes
is the stain used.Idont know how anyone can write a 10 page paper on
such,but that is the assignment I have and do not know how to proceed with
this.Thanks
